"The harbingers."

You sighed, at a loss for words.

Scaramouche

"It's fine."

You

"No- It really isn't."

Scaramouche

"Do you think they're here for us?"

You

"Oh, yeah. Definitely."

Scaramouche

"Fuck."

You

"So the destruction of headquarters wasn't enough to get rid of them?..." 

Scaramouche

"I mean... They are the Fatui harbingers after all."

"They're not supposed to go down that easily."

You

"Right, right..."

.

.

.

"Are you ready?"

Scaramouche

"..."

"Mhm."

You picked him up but leaned as low as you could to avoid being seen by the Harbingers.

You

"Is this okay?"

Scaramouche

"Yeah..."

You

"Phew..."

You looked behind you, barely over your shoulder, at the turmoil that had engulfed Inazuma City. It was undoubtedly far worse than the devastation you and Scaramouche caused, which said a lot. 

You returned to Scaramouche, starting the boat's engine and sailing away into the water.

-A FEW HOURS LATER, JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM HOME-

Scaramouche 

"I can see it."

You

"Uh..."

"Hm?..."

You had slept on the boat, leaning back, arms crossed with your legs propped up on Scaramouche's thighs.

Scaramouche

"Home."

You

"Holy shit, that's the island!"

Scaramouche

"Hah!"

You

"Scara, we're home!"

You stood up in the boat, looking at the distant island you were getting closer to.
